I had a fantastic day working from the Tower of London earlier this week. This is the view as you step out of the building where the HRP curators are based

A galactic turd dumped onto Fleet Street. GM-scale deco pastiche that transforms an elegant, sinuous aesthetic into something clumsy and overbearing. How many years until it too is replaced by another clump of glass and steel I wonder.

I’m currently undertaking a curatorial research placement with Historic Royal Palaces examining the Needham volumes. Tudor building accounts which detail works at Royal properties between 1532-1544. As well as building history they are rich with insights into the private lives of Tudor Royals 🏰 👑

I am passionate about the history of London with a particular interest in its development during the Early Modern period. In addition to the Inns of Court and Chancery, I have given papers on and guided tours of Hampstead, its spa era and ensuing development.
